I love my Gorilla cart! It’s one of the best investments I’ve made out here on the desert homestead. One caveat: They have regular old pneumatic tires. (I think that’s the term — tires that hold air and occasionally need to be pumped up.) One or two will likely arrive flat, so you’ll think “no biggie” and inflate them and off you go. The next time you use it, one or two flats again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Turns out this is a regular complaint with garden carts: the tires are useless. I had this very problem and ended up replacing all four tires with non-pneumatics. Gorilla knows this and makes $$$ selling replacement tires. I bought a set of four never-flats online. They’re easy to install — just reuse the cotter pins.

Thank you! I have that problem with the front tires on my zero-turn mower. Our recent ‘MacGiver Fix-It’ is to fill them with expanding foam. So far, so good - though you will get a ‘flat side’ on the tire, but that goes away after a bumpy start, LOL!

I told Beau that IF he wants the lawn mowed while he’s ‘goofing off’ and hunting this, that and the other critter Summer into Fall that there WILL be new tires on my mower before he leaves or I WILL be hiring out the mowing at his expense. End of conversation!

This Farm Wife Gig IS pretty plush - easiest ‘job’ I’ve ever had, but at times I HAVE to put my foot down! Remember - I’m dealing with a stubborn, Luddite Norwegian Farmer, here. It’s a lucky thing for him that he’s handsome! ;)
